In the Tyumen region, a Renault Sandero car has been seized from disabled man Pavel Vaskin, a vehicle previously gifted to him by the team of blogger Ildar Avto-Podbor.

According to the man, the vehicle was taken right from the yard of his home. «I was left with nothing, left on a sled,» Pavel stated in a phone conversation. He also denied fraud allegations, recalling that he previously provided free transportation for elderly people.

No official confirmation had been received from the bloggers at the time of publication. Representatives of «Team AP» did not respond to a request for comment, and their social media pages contained no information about the incident.

The story gained widespread attention after a video was released on January 20 showing the bloggers handing Pavel the car keys. The video later disappeared from platforms, with the authors explaining this was due to the need to collect additional information.

Earlier, media reported that Pavel Vaskin has two fraud convictions but has already served his sentence. He and his wife Gulnara linked these cases to a difficult financial situation and the costs of treating their children and relatives.
